Innocence

I laughed out,
but he looked on with wide eyes, intent,
I thought maybe innocence is taking jokes seriously,
but his emotion appeared purer than mine,
and I thought maybe loss of innocence
is taking serious things lightly.

Is it that God created life as a joke,
and we suffer when we often take it seriously?
Or did he create it in the earnest,
and we suffer when we see it as fun and games?
